HUMAN TORCH COMICS #1 70TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
Before he became the hero he was created to be, the original Human Torch had to battle his inner demons to stake a claim on the soul he knows he has...and his enemies will stop at nothing to tear him apart to get at the city they want to control. Can he learn to tap into the human side of the Torch, or must he sacrifice himself to save the people he has sworn to protect in this al-new 22 page story? Also included is a bonus 10 page Torch tale from Marvel’s rich history!
MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #1 70TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
The original Human Torch, Toro, the Sub-Mariner, the Angel and the Ferret team up to prevent Nazi saboteurs and one of the Torch’s earliest foes from creating the ultimate weapon of mass destruction in this all-new 22 page story. Plus another 10 page classic vintage tale from Marvel’s Golden Age!
Because I am a sucker for Golden Age Marvel. Also, "the Ferret?"
MAZING SPIDER-MAN #593
Part Two of "24/7"!
Reeling from the discovery he made last issue -- one that will have a huge impact on the Spider-Universe in the coming months -- Peter Parker withdraws even further into his Spidey identity just in time to come face-to-face (or web-to-wing) with the all-new Vulture!
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #594
"24/7" Finale!
Hunted as never before by a newly empowered J. Jonah Jameson--and you won't believe JJJ's new base of operations!-- Spider-Man can't find peace privately or in public! It's time Spidey faced up to the truth behind his 24/7 mission--before it kills him!
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #595
The lead-up to Amazing Spider-Man #600 begins here.
Spider-Man editor Stephen Wacker here with a quick message. Look, this solicit is being written before you dear readers even know how CHARACTER ASSASSINATION ends and the major changes that spill out of it, so I can’t tell ya much, but believe me, if you haven’t been keeping up with Spidey...it’s time.
Following immediately on the heels of “24/7”, Spider-Man’s world has become more messed-up and stressful than ever and the fact that his biggest enemy, is in charge of the world...and the Avengers...is only the icing on a really dangerous cake.
Now faced with hard choices about family and friendship, Spider-Man knows exactly what he has to do to save the world...it’s time to take down Norman Osborn.
The fourteen-year-old is still enjoying this one.
MIGHTY AVENGERS #25
What would be the greatest heist of all time? Breaking into the First National Bank? The Tower of London? Fort Knox? No. It'd be knocking over the BAXTER BUILDING! But why would HANK PYM want to rip off MR. FANTASTIC? And are the other AVENGERS ready to become Earth's Mightiest Cat Burglars? Part one of the all-new MIGHTY AVENGERS/FANTASTIC FOUR throwdown starts here!
AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #24
THE INITIATIVE: DISASSEMBLED CONTINUES! A Dark Reign has fallen. Norman Osborn has disbanded S.H.I.E.L.D. and shut down Camp Hammond. That leaves the Shadow Initiative out in the cold...stuck in Madripoor with no means of escape, hunted by an army of Hydra agents, including Wolverine's old foes, Bloodscream and Roughhouse! They have no idea if Norman even knows they’re out there, or if they’re better off if he doesn’t! If you thought changing costumes was the biggest event in Taskmaster's career, you cannot miss this issue...
NEW AVENGERS #53
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT SORCERER SUPREME? And will he or she survive the initiation? The Avengers fight a battle that they know will shape the future of the Marvel Universe for years to come!
Avenger-y goodness. Still debating on whether to throw Dark Avengers into the mix.
DARK REIGN: YOUNG AVENGERS #1 (of 5)
The Melter; The Executioner; The Enchantress; Egghead; Big Zero and Coat of Arms: they call themselves the Young Avengers, teenage rebels, on the run from the authorities, hated and feared by a world they've sworn to protect. Their interests include interspecies romance, modern art and bloody murder. Everything is permitted, and so are they. Until they meet the original Young Avengers. And then their grey areas will come home to roost.
Getting this solely because of the potential for actual Young Avenger appearances.
NEW AVENGERS: THE REUNION #3 (of 4)
“DOUBLE INDEMNITY”
After last issue’s bombshell revelation, the hits keep coming for Mockingbird and Ronin as they begin their infiltration to stop a weapon of mass destruction from destroying an entire city. Plus, the question that’s been on everyone’s mind, especially Clint’s: What happened to Mockingbird while she was held captive by the Skrulls? Find out here as the Reunion 15 years in the making continues!
Hoping for a good ending to this one.
DEADPOOL #10
“BULLSEYE,” PART 1 OF 3
Norman Osborn is through playing around with Deadpool—it’s time to send in the big guns. The big, crazy guns that never, ever miss. He may be wearing a new costume, but he’s still the same ol’ psychopath...
Always entertaining.
MS. MARVEL #39
The Dark Reign is in full effect. Carol Danvers is dead.
Moonstone has taken on the mantle of Ms. Marvel. And the only hope for the forces of good is...Machine Man?! Brian Reed & Patrick Olliffe kick off a new chapter in the legend of Ms. Marvel!
Okay fine. Machine Man. I'll buy this book for Machine Man.
SPIDER-WOMAN #2
Jessica Drew is back, she is an agent of S.W.O.R.D. and she is hunting one of the people who helped ruin her life. It’s back to sexy, violent Madripoor because the HUNT IS ON!!
Always did like Spider-Woman back in the day, guess I maybe have a chance to see her now.
AVENGERS/INVADERS #11 (of 12)
On the other side of history, chaos reigns. Evil has won and the Fourth Reich now rules the world. Only the combined might of the Avengers, The Invaders and the mysterious new heroes Electro, The Challenger, The Silver Scorpion, The Black Widow, the Black Avenger and Captain Terror have a hope of setting the world right.
I'm just impressed they didn't call it "the penultimate issue."
CAPTAIN AMERICA #50
Bucky Barnes, another man out of time, is the new Captain America now...but today he's trapped in the past, because today is Bucky Barnes' birthday. See Bucky's favorite and least favorite birthdays - from the cold winters of the Depression on military bases, to the front lines of WW2 fighting alongside the Invaders, to his new mission as Cap. Oh yeah, and someone's trying to kill him.
Still good, still getting.
CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI13 #13
Betrayal runs rampant! Spitfire is offered a high rank in the vampire state—will she take it? Does she have a chance? A traitor is discovered in the ranks of British Intelligence. But what are the chances that he’s the only one. Pete Wisdom’s main concern is keeping his people alive, but with his track record and who they’re up against, it’s not looking good.
Ditto.
MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS #36
BLOCKHEAD PARTY: When the Avengers take some time out of their busy schedules to attend a neighborhood block party / flea market, Tigra discovers a magic necklace and accidentally unleashes an ancient genie that has two goals in mind: giving Tigra her requisite three wishes, and seeking terrible vengeance on the "dire villain" who trapped him in the lamp... a certain ever lovin' blue eyed Thing! Can Tigra simply WISH this problem away? You'd think so, but magic wishes sure do have their way of back-firing! It's a supernatural battle royale, guest-starring the Thing!
For the ten-year-old.
